for 30 mins, meaning that any spillages or unwanted accidents will not result in a completely destroyed device. There isn't really enough here to separate it from the confusingly similar, but cheaper Pixel 4a 5g, so I'd probably go for that if you're happy with a larger phone. A full 128GB of internal storage is available, so you plenty of space for all your apps, games and more. Of course, a chief benefit of the Snapdragon 765G over the 855 is that it has an integrated X52 5G modem, which means the Pixel 5 (unlike the Pixel 4) can connect to the UK’s sub-6GHz 5G network. The Google Pixel 6 might only be a year newer than the Pixel 5 but it's a big upgrade, with a radical new design, upgraded cameras, a bespoke chipset and more.

Google has ditched the hi-tech Soli radar system and face recognition from the Pixel 4 and gone back to basics for a much simpler design. Not every aspect of the small format is perfectly designed: the metal lock button and volume rocker on the right side of the phone barely protrude from the body of the phone and have more resistance than you’d expect, making them a bit tough to press. The native resolution is still FHD+ (1,080 x 2,340), with a refresh rate of 90Hz, although it has slightly increased in size. This is the reason you benefit from a minimum 1-year warranty with the purchase of a refurbished device at Back Market.Google has also gone back to a physical fingerprint sensor on the rear of the phone, which is far easier to find without looking than an in-screen scanner.

Instead, Google is relying on its SuperResZoom technology, which is a type of digital zoom that is arguably capable of matching a 2x optical zoom, but has its limits beyond that.But while some cutting-edge tech has been culled, it’s not a complete regression: the Pixel 5 has wireless charging, a 90Hz refresh rate display, and 5G, while its 4,000mAh battery is a lot bigger, and subsequently lasts far longer, than the 2,800mAh battery in the Pixel 4. That’s why SmartCellular is committed to reduce the negative impact on our planet by giving you Extra Cash for every unwanted phone you recycle with us.
